A couple of months ago my company announced we were going to have a 3-day meeting in Las Vegas in June. Immediately my mind went to all of the awesome that is between here and Vegas and decided I would load up my company car and wander my way to Vegas over 4 days......
Although I am a huge proponent of exploring local, I never miss an opportunity to get west of Albuquerque. June in Mississippi is a soggy, hot affair so the idea of breaking loose and hitting some desert mountains was highly appealing.
After making a 2 hour stop in Oklahoma City to visit Cruiser Corps and trade some FJ-55 parts, I pressed on so I could be in New Mexico for sunrise on Saturday.
New Mexico and Blake's Lottaburger are synonymous to me and I was ticket #1 in Tucumcari at 6 am. I ordered a Blakes Burrito with Green Chilis and also added 4 more to the ARB Fridge in the back of my 2016 TRD PRO for trail food the next few days.
I have made quite a few trips down I-40 in the past but they were always hurried affairs trying to reach distant rock-crawling destinations, usually overloaded with gooseneck trailers and gear, but this trip I was flying solo and I was able to exit at about 1/2 of the small towns along the way and take in some great Route 66 Americana.
